Planned Parenthood is closing five clinics in northern California after losing Medicaid funding thanks to President Donald Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill.”

Planned Parenthood Mar Monte, the abortion giant’s largest affiliate in the country, shuttered five locations near the Bay Area on Thursday, saying the bill forced their hand.

The clinics that are closing are all near the Bay Area — located in San Francisco, San Mateo, Gilroy, Santa Cruz, and Madera.

“We really feel like we are in the fight of our life,” said Stacy Cross, president and CEO of the Mar Monte affiliate, which serves California and Nevada.

“I’ve been a Planned Parenthood CEO for 24 years at three separate affiliates, and I can tell you this is really the hardest it’s been in my entire life,” Cross said.

Planned Parenthood laid off more than 60 staffers at the five clinics.

“This law is clearly a back-door ban on abortion in reproductive freedom states,” Planned Parenthood Mar Monte said in a statement.

The massive spending bill, which was signed by Trump on July 4, bans Medicaid reimbursements for one year to abortion providers who were getting at least $800,000 in Medicaid reimbursements, which Planned Parenthood certainly was — the abortion giant was getting about $390 million from Medicaid as far back as 2015.

Federal law already prohibits Medicaid reimbursements for nearly all abortions, but the bill broadens that ban to Planned Parenthood’s other services.

“It essentially defunds Planned Parenthood from Medicaid, from us being able to get reimbursed for the care we provide,” Cross said.

Planned Parenthood sued the Trump administration over the bill shortly after it was signed, and an Obama-appointed judge granted a two-week restraining order against the Medicaid ban.

However, that restraining order expired on Monday, and the judge then issued a narrow preliminary injunction that allowed just 10 Planned Parenthoods to get Medicaid payments.

Planned Parenthood has shut down clinics in a slew of states recently, including Manhattan’s only clinic, four in Minnesota, four in Illinois, two in Texas, and two in Utah.

The White House defended the Medicaid changes in a fact sheet on the bill.

“The One Big Beautiful Bill protects and strengthens Medicaid for those who rely on it — pregnant women, children, seniors, people with disabilities, and low-income families — while eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse. The One Big Beautiful Bill removes illegal aliens, enforces work requirements, and protects Medicaid for the truly vulnerable,” the White House said.

Convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell gave the Department of Justice information on “100 different people” linked to child sex predator Jeffrey Epstein, her lawyer David Oscar Markus told reporters on Friday, according to the New York Post.

Maxwell met with the DOJ on Thursday and Friday and was grilled by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, answering “every single question,” according to Markus.

“This was the first opportunity she’s ever been given to answer questions about what happened,” Maxwell’s lawyer said. “The truth will come out about what happened with Mr. Epstein, and she’s the person who’s answering those questions.”

Markus did not say whether Maxwell’s discussions with the DOJ tied anyone else to Epstein’s crimes. Markus was challenged by one reporter about two previous perjury counts against Maxwell, and replied by pointing to the federal government dropping those charges after she was convicted of sex trafficking.

The Trump administration is pursuing multiple avenues to release more information on the Epstein case after facing criticism for its handling of the investigation. The DOJ is also requesting that federal judges in New York and Florida unseal grand jury transcripts in Epstein’s and Maxwell’s cases. A federal judge in Florida denied the DOJ’s request earlier this week, saying that her “hands are tied” and she does not have the authority to release the sensitive records.

Maxwell is in the process of appealing her conviction, and some commentators and legal analysts have floated that Epstein’s co-conspirator is providing more information to the DOJ in hopes of securing clemency from President Donald Trump.

As the DOJ was questioning Maxwell, Trump was asked Friday morning if he would consider a pardon for the sex trafficker, who is serving a 20-year sentence.

“It’s something I haven’t thought about,” Trump responded. “I’m allowed to do it, but it’s something I have not thought about.”

Maxwell’s lawyer commented on a potential pardon or commutation, calling Trump “the ultimate dealmaker,” adding, “We hope he exercises that power in a right and just way.

On Thursday, Markus said that Maxwell was questioned “all day,” but he did not comment “on the substance” of the meeting, CBS News reported.

“This is the first time that the government has asked questions, so we were thankful that the deputy attorney general came and asked her questions. It’s the first time the government did it. So it was a good day,” Markus added.

Deputy Attorney General Blanche said in an X post after Thursday’s meeting that the DOJ “will share additional information about what we learned at the appropriate time.”
